Actually, it will be employed over our Intranet. There's no way this is
getting outside our company, so it's not *the net*, just *a net* (the
devil's always in the semantics :-)

Not for what I want to do, I don't think, unless anyone can suggest
another way. 60% of our manufacturing system is browser based. Some of
the remaining stuff is realistically never going to be HTML / ASP
because it's just to difficult to make the transition from the VB client
we're currently using - popup boxes, multi-form and all that sort of
stuff. I considered that using Java as a proper client-side programming
environment would fit the bill. So far, it's look extremely promising;
all I have to do is get over the hurdles.
The good thing is that if my proof of concept works, it will be what we
use, you see, I'm the boss. I'm looking to some form of Java to reduce
the dependence on MS and drive down costs.
I'm also looking at a multi-platform client environment. I'm got some
users using desktop PCs, some using (currently) Windows Terminal Server
and have a Linux-based LTSP server waiting in the wings. Java of one
form or another offers me all the cross-platform capabilities I need.

Yeah - it started off as a little test app whilst I was playing about
with the Netbeans IDE and sort of stuck. It won't end up being called
Applet, but if I called it appSFDCDetailView, I doubt very much if you
personally would have been a great deal wiser? (No offence intended).
